Day 4 in review (part 1) live blogging..
Tags :Conferences
More pictures are up once again...
Hit a couple BOF's this morning and people
were much slower but still trying to be strong getting up early. BOF314
on C&S was good and it seems everyone has isolated calendar needs and
issues. Most widespread issues are well known and documented.
BP106 was on repeat with Paul Mooney.
He took some notes from talking to us yesterday and applied them
well. I did appreciate he got the light stick from the Disney-bots
last night at Sea World. But it broke by this morning, of course.
GURUpalooza - this was awesome again
this year. Well attended and the questions were much more detailed
and not esoteric. We tried to pass the mic around so everyone could
answer, but it seems some of the questions were very directed. I
appreciated Wild Bill sitting in the back row since he wore his kilt.
Ask the Developers - Started very
slow with comments and thoughts and not questions. It then started
to take off. I liked some of the questions that were asked, but very
unique to each environment. There were a few global questions, like
one on SMTP.
Ed is blogging next to me and eating my
bandwidth..... He is typing way too much and it takes more of the
802.11 on each keystroke...
There is was some good comments on making
the web and Notes more similar in terms of policies. I agree it is
hard to manage security policies that does not affect all aspects since
we expect the user to utilize both.
Omnifind was brought up as a solution by
the Developers for a question on search enhancements in Domino. Searches
on Google showed announcements
around that product in 2004, but it was new for me to hear. The web
shows the following:For example, the Armonk, N.Y.,
company recently took the covers off OmniFind, an enterprise search engine
for file systems, content repositories, databases, collaboration systems,
applications and intranets. OmniFind integrates with any portal or content
management system.
This will be interesting in what resources
it needs and where it runs (locally or server). The Websphere
Information Integrator and the
DB2
Information Integrator middleware
are already in place. I can imagine a piece for Domino is soon to
follow. If it has the same cost structure as LEI, it might be a tad
expensive.
Mary Beth Raven took the stand to answer
a client UI question. She turned it right around to a request from
all of you. Get your butt on LDD and register as a usability tester
to make your complaints about things like the View Unread button and making
the default in the mailfile "Reply without attachment". That
got much applause. I think that is an awesome idea. Instead
of complaints, make the effort. She made a very bold statement:As
you can see we are in a total redesign of the UI for Hannover
That is as close as I can get the exact
quote but it is darn accurate. But it embodies what one theme here
was (to me) at the conference. Make a difference yourself, because
Lotus is making changes beyond belief.
"Tell Amgr cancel" starting
in Domino 6 will stop an agent that runs away from a server command of
Tell Amgr Run. But that changed Julie K's response when she
listened to the question again. Her cancel comment will only stop
agents running normally, not ones launched from the console. She
took it under advisement.
